They will fit, see the pic above ( Post # 9). But, you will need new bolts.

Based upon the MBUSA website my dual-spoke wheels are off a '03 E320 and are 8J-16. This would make sense as the car came off a 3 year lease in April '03. The '03 E500 came with 8.5J-17 dual-spoke wheels with 225/45R17 tires. The '03 E500 Sport came with 8J-17 5 spoke wheels with 235/45R17 tires. These are probably the same AMG rims that came origionally on my '00 E430 Sport. The lug nuts, or are the bolts, on the car are all keyed to a anti-theft star adapter.

acarter53,
I saw the above (post # 9) what are those, they're similar to JCFair's car rims, are they 16" or 17", if 17x8 what tyres size on them is 235/45/17 or 245/45/17, and what lug bolts I need for them, because the dealer said they come from a W211 and they don't fit the W210, please advice if know.
it's this rim, and I like it, it's good deal 4 rims 17x8 ET 38, with Michilin tyres 245/45/17, all for equivalent to USD 1360, and zero KM on them (brand new 2007) they've just been removed from a W211 E500 in the show room which he upgraded to AMG,

Hey, after seeing the OPs car, I have definitely decided to buy a pair of wheels just like them but I have a question: I am putting on original 2005 MB E320 wheels on my 2000 E320. Now everthing is the same as I am replacing my 16s with 16s. The OLD (2000) tires are 215/65/16s and the NW (2005) tires would be 225/55/16s. Now my question is that my 2000's OFFSET is 34 and the 2005 OFFSET is 36. What exactly is meant by "OFFSET"?
Second Question: Can I use my original Lug nuts or not?
Thanks!
no, you are trying to use W211 rims (14mm dia/14mm radius ball seat) with your
W210 (12mm dia/12mm radius ball seat). the ball will have minimal bearing
surface contact with the rim. here is a simplified pic....

not even if you closed your eyes and clicked your heels: again, the 211 bolt is
14mm, your car uses 12mm bolts....you're proposing threading the larger bolt
into the smaller tapped hole. did you search otisincla?
It is clear my W210 has W211 wheels off a 03' E320. I think you are saying above the treads for the W211 bolts are different and the W210 bolts are too short.
My car has bolts all keyed to an anti-theft socket. I thought this was really strange since normally only one per wheel is an anti-theft socket. Instead of 4 anti-theft bolts I have 20. Is this how they got around the W210 bolts to short for W211 wheels? Or am I luck my damn wheels haven't fallen off?
Please forgive me, I am not bolt savy. Let see to use a W211 wheel on a W210 requires a 12mmx1.5 R14 ball seat by how long a shank? I like the oticincla web site.
